Piute County

Piute Color is a member of the Utah Color project. The goal of this project is to promote local web development and community awareness in the Beehive State by offering an open directory and calendar for the 29 counties in Utah.

The site is a sole proprietorship run by a single person who writes the code for the site and adds all the content. Creating the site is a long and slow process.

Piute County is the second smallest county in the state with a population of about 1,500. The largest town in Piute is Circleville. The county seat is Junction.

Advertising

I originally funded the site with affiliate ads. This paradigm does not work for rural directories as there are very few companies in rural communities that have affiliate programs.

In 2017, I decided to open advertising to the community at large. I charge $25 for 100,000 page views. It takes a long time to display 100,000 ads in a county with only a thousand people. If anyone orders local ads, the ads will displace the affiliate ads.
